Arrange the following in order of decreasing boiling points
(i) Pentan-1-ol (ii) 2-Methylbutan-2-ol, (iii) 3-Methylbutan-2-ol.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`(i) gt (iii) gt (ii)`. This is because with branching the shape becomes spherical and therefore, van der Waals forces decrease. As a result, boiling point decreases
